About Okeechobee VA Clinic
In the sleepy tropical community of Okeechobee, Florida, is the Okeechobee VA Clinic. This is an outpatient clinic that supports veterans and their families. They offer medical services here and have a dedicated behavioral healthcare program on site. Their behavioral health program can support you if you have mental health struggles or a co-occurring substance abuse disorder. You'll also find primary care services here, dietary support that allows you to work with nutritious experts, and social workers who can help your family lead a fulfilling and healthy life.
For some of the services, you will need a referral. However, you can get referrals right at the clinic after you work with the primary care provider. They accept private and commercial insurance along with VA benefits.
Dedicated Mental Health Support
If your mental health struggles have resulted in substance use or are amplified because of substance use, the Okeechobee VA Clinic can help. You’ll have access to assessments, evaluations, diagnosis and treatment options that allow you to work toward a healthier life.
I think that a benefit of seeking support here is that if you need more robust mental health care services like inpatient care, you can get connected to the greater VA West Palm Beach Healthcare System. This system oversees the Okeechobee VA clinic and helps provide coordinated care.
Quick and Easy Access to Care
I appreciate that the Okeechobee VA clinic is committed to providing timely and accessible care. If you don't have reliable transportation, there is a VA shuttle that can get you to the clinic among other transportation services. They also have relatively short wait times. Plus if you need a referral for care, those can be made rather promptly as well.
